WPW10121140 Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Filter Housing

Refrigerator Water Filter Housing

Whirlpool manufactures products under several brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Water Filter Housing is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component holds the water filter securely in place within the refrigerator's water system. It ensures the filter functions correctly, providing clean, filtered water and ice by protecting the filter and preventing leaks.

Deterioration of the Water Filter Housing can result from regular use, frequent filter changes, and over-tightening during installation, which may cause cracks. Water pressure issues can also stress the housing and its connections.

Signs of a failing Water Filter Housing include:

- Difficulty installing or removing the water filter
- Leaks at the connection point between the filter and housing
- Unfiltered water taste or odor
- Visible cracks or damage to the housing

This OEM part is compatible with several brands, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
